hello Firebird, it seems like Magref is going to finish Volume 10’s epilogue for Mondaiji and then stop translations. Do you plan to do the same for Mondaiji? Just curious, and I hope you have a very merry Christmas!!

I won’t stop until explicitly told by a DMCA notice, and since the DMCA notice only hit part of the mondaiji project even at Baka-Tsuki, I don’t think there is a reason to stop translating the latter parts in the near future.
Merry Christmas for you too!

I just discovered this novel recently (Jan 14, 2016) and I’m sad that the copies was erased or removed. Are there anyone who have pdf copies of this (from vol1 up)? Can someone send it to me? Pretty please….

Hello Firebird Just wondering if you and other Translators from BT will be releasing epiloge of volume 10 and the last 2 volumes anytime soon since the DMCA notice. Project has been stalled a couple of months without any new chapters or completed volume release. Maybe the DMCA Notice even though i am not too sure even what that is in the first place is a good thing or a bad but hopefully everything will turn out for the best down the road. Anyways my question i was getting to if you don’t mind answering if I don’t break a rule somewhere is WHAT is the novel origin Languge and where can i Buy the Raw Light Novels online even the Continued Series Last Embryo from. Perhaps you might know a Great online book store that has them. I have look myself but Keep coming up Empty. Thanks for Any Information and general help you can give me.

Epilogue of vol.10 is up at Baka-Tsuki currently, it was put up 13 days ago.
Because of the DMCA notice magref has stopped translating, so the hyper-speed translation he provided is no longer available sadly. Instead, I’m continuing currently, but it takes me much more time to translate.

The original language is japanese. If you are looking for an online-only distribution service, then http://bookwalker.jp/ is the place I would recommend. There are some english translated light novels there, but Mondaiji is not one them.

Thank you for the Information. I am looking to buy physical Copy’s of Mondaiji and other LN that are not begin translated regularly anymore due to either lack of translating funds or lose of translators interested from them begin too busy with real life to care about there readers. does that website you recommend sell hard copy’s or just Digital downloads. Do you know of any other website besides this one like Amazon.com.jp. I have already tired Amazon.com.jp and they don’t have the LN i am interested buying.

I searched the site you gave me but it keeps coming up with no search results. Are you sure the site have the light novels for Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai Kara Kuru Sou Desu yo and Last Embryo. Maybe i am searching but not finding any. Sorry to be a BOTHER to You. I know as a translator you are Busy as well.

Nobody told me i had to use the Kanji Name for Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai Kara Kuru Sou Desu yo to search the site. I do Not Know any Kanji. Would U happen to know where i can buy all 12 Volumes as physical copy books from instead of the Digital downloads only. Since there is no point in downloading a raw if can read it. I have the first 10 volumes already from BT but since the whole DMCA thing BT most likely will not be doing any updates for a long while. I don’t wish to read them i want to collect them and other LN like them.

I thought it was obvious to use the Kanji for a Japanese site….which is why I also said to copy the kanji and paste it into the search box. Personally I would go to Amazon since they do have the volumes on there. Though you may have to go to other sites, mostly japanese ones to get hte volumes if you want physical copies.

Hey Starlightat I found a few novels on Amazon.co.jp but don’t know what there English names are so i was wondering if you have the time to take quick look at them and please tell me the names for each and if there is a double name or double book with same name just skip over it please. List is here @ https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/cart/view.html/ref=gno_cart Thank you.

It sounds like you searched the english version of the site, which doesn’t have mondaiji as I mentioned in the previous post, only the japanese section of the site has it, but since you are looking for a physical copy it doesn’t matter either way, because they only sell online only versions there.
I don’t really know of any sites that are easy to use and that are selling physical copies.

Can anyone please help me find Raw 天元突破グレンラガン manga volumes 5,6,7,8,9,&10. I know this is a LN site but though someone might know where i can download them. I have already tired looking on my own and have asked a few scan groups but they refuse to help me even find the raws since manga is and has been licensed for sometime now. I have found translations for firsts 4 volumes but nothing can be found on remaining 6 volumes even in raw or i am not searching the right sites that i have been told to look at for them. please someone help i am seriously stressed out of this to the point where i am having a nerviness breakdown over this.

Sadly there isn’t anything I can do as that particular manga is difficult to find to begin with. Raws for THOSE particular volumes ESPECIALLY will be incredibly difficult to find to the point of impossible because no one has been able to get their hands on it. More than likely you will have to buy them.

Thanks for your reply so quickly. The Problem is not buying the raw Manga online i can find them and the 4 novels to on Amazon.co.jp the problem is i can not Read Japanese and nobody from any of the scanlations groups i have talk will do the scanlations for me even if i commissioned them because they will not work on Licensed manga. I am willing to buy the manga and Novels if someone anyone can Help me. I just want them translated for personal reading but if the person do the scanlations for asked if they could release them publicly i would have no problems since they are the one taking the time to do them and will be in no hurry for them to be done as longs we came to fair arrangement in Compensation for the time working on the manga for me. But that is the biggest issue of all Since No one in the Scanlation world is willing to take on this project. All i need is just that 1 person out there that can do scanlations to step up and say Yes i can help you if it for personal Uses. But the issues is the same for every group i have asked on bato.to ( we are to busy with exams and we will not scanlate licensed manga.) Anyone Please Help if you can and have time remember i am in no hurry as long as you agree to do them.

Do you know if Mondaiji-tach Vol 11 and 12 are going to be translated still or even being worked on anymore since the DMCA Notice. What about Embryo been no updates on that one either. Just asking because my 250gb Hard Drive i storage manga and LN on Just Crashed and i am in a scramble to reagan all the manga and Light novels i lost and it was over 200 different series worth of stuff.

That….that sucks man…..I feel for you….Welp Firebird I am assuming is still working on it and Magref is as well but he is doing it sporadically and whenever he wants. I would like to tell you though Frozen IS doing Last Embryo chapter summaries on his blog! You can find it at this link!

Thanks I just checked out the frozensama.blogspot.com and they are doing vol 11 & 12 but on HOLD and Last Embryo is not begin translated by him or her instead they are just writting a Summary of it after they have read each chapter not really a translations. I know you or Firebird said that BT is still going to do them at sometime but it could be a long while since they need to wait for all the DMAC Drama to die down.

Do you Know where i can Get PDF’s for Volume 1-10 to download. I still need them since my computer crashed 2 weeks ago and can’t find any willing to help me find the PDF’s since BT don’t have the volumes accessible anymore.

Hey there Firebird or Starlightat I know you are very busy with you own RL stuff but if you have time could you do me a really big Favor for me. I added about 27 books to my Amazon.co.jp Cart but since i don’t read Japanese i am just looking to buy manga but i can’t tell what is a Manga or a Light Novel. Could you take a look at my cart here @ https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/cart/view.html/ref=nav_cart and please tell me witch ones are manga and witch one are LN and if i have any double’s of the same series when you get time please and Thank you.

Hello again and not to bother you so much but i need a little help here with 2 things. First is have you gotten a chance to look at my Comment from 2016-03-28 i still would like to have help with that issue if you can please when you get time and secondly do you know where i can download The Mondaiji-tachi Short Stories by Tatsunoko Tarou parts 1-3 like on BT. Thank you 🙂

We can’t see what’s in your amazon cart, it’s your personal page and unless we are standing behind you or sit at the same pc as you, we can’t see its contents.
I don’t exactly know what is it that you are asking about the short stories, the translations for the Short Stories are at baka-tsuki, you can freely get them. If you are talking about the original language then they are published for free on the publisher’s site.

I thank you for the quick reply Sorry i will re-add the books back to the Cart after i log out. Forgot you can’t see items in my cart when i am logged in to the Amazon.co.jp account. I already know the Shot Story’s are on BT since that is where i got the information from what i am asking is do you know where i can download them as either a PDF or Epub file since they seem to be read only on Baka-tsuki right now divided into 3 parts. will get back to you will list again once i log out and re-do the cart link. Sorry.

Okay…..he already mentioned this now make sure to read it this time. WE CANNOT LOOK AT YOUR CART. That is your personal information and thus we would need your account password. That is NOT something you can share.

How can that be I FULLY logged OUT before i made this New Cart and Link so why is it keeping me logged In after i logged out when you try to look @ the Cart from Amazon.co.jp . I just clicked on the link i left and i shows that i am logged Out because it keeps telling me to log back in. What can i do to show you whats in the cart since it is not possible to give My personal Information to you and i would not. Do you want me to list the raw names if i can for you to look yourself if i can not fix the Amazon cart problem. do you know of any typing or Word programs that would aloue me to cut and paste the Japanese name / Kaniji name without distorting the Characters it like Word Perfect and AbiWord does.

Why don’t you search up the manga covers of the series you want to buy? And then compare the pictures to what you see in your cart to determine if you have the manga or light novels. It’s not that hard to type in mondaiji light novel and get plenty of pictures for the light novels.

well for starters the manga/ Light Novels in my cart @ Amazon.co.jp this time are NOT Mondaiji related if that matters. I already bought vol 1-12 with your help from last time and All the new books are from different series i am interested in buying but need help knowing if they are LN or JP Manga. Well it might be easy for you too look up the cover since you do translate or know some Japanese but it is very hard for me to look up a Cover Photo of the book in my cart if i can’t read Japanese to know there English translated names or i would have do so weeks ago when i first asked because Japanese is not a Easy Language to learn fast. besides there is no English name of the Books listed in cart just the Kanji names since it is a co.jp site and not the normal US Amazon site. I even used the Kanji as cut and pasted on the Us site but nothing turns up. Amazon only sells US based Licensed Anime so if the series got a license here they would have the manga / LN on the US side but if it is a Unknown series not picked up by a Japanese Producer or studio yet or licensed in Japan then there will be no findings of any kind on Amazon.co US site. So it makes it hard when there only listed in the jp store for sale. Sorry for the long Comment almost finished. I will try to figure something out to help me list the Kanji names for you to see since my cart Can’t be accessed in a few days if you are still willing to help me further then you have. Thanks again and Hope to see a translation of volume 11 and 12 sometime soon. Goodnight.

hoo boy….I NEVER said to do the search in English or Japanese in my last post. Sorry I should have been more specific and said your native language.

Here is a step by step way of how to do it.

1. Decide which series you want to buy.

2. Search said series in YOUR LANGUAGE! through a search engine (Examples: Google, Yahoo, Bing, Opera).

3. Add light novels or manga after the series name.

4. Check the pictures or a site you can understand that has the book covers in the site.

5. Check to see if what is on the page is a light novel or a manga.

6. Compare those pictures with what you have in your cart.

7. Delete the unnecessary books from your cart.

8. Buy the ones you want.

There is an easier way to do this though. If you know about google translate, then have the page be translated into your native language, and simply check the categories of each item on the page. The items are separated into categories on the amazon pages and it is because it will be easier to find.

Thanks for the Help. I used Google Translate on the amazon cart then clicked on each book but to my disappointment it did not help much since all books listed in my cart come up as Manga/ Light Novel in the Categories list but don’t give full details of what each one is so am guessing i will just have to buy a couple to see what they are Physically JP Manga or LN.

I did not wait to long to look at the site i was there before but have not been back until now. Whoever was doing the translations on that site had no further progress done on any of there series since the DMCA so i came back to see if anything was update yet like a new translations done but the site is CLOSED so now i can’t remember what that site had as translations or if they even updated since the last time i was there. Do you know any other sites that have the translations that one was working on in Progress.

All they had was volumes 1-9 and that was all they were going to have since volume 10 was finished this year. Also, they were not a site of translators. They were just one person who, on their own time, decided to turn finished translations into PDF and EPUB files so that people could have the volumes in their entirety.

I have volumes 1-10 of mondaiji thanks to a friend.

And so far only Firebird and magref are doing translations as once again the rest have dropped off the face of the planet.

Who is Magref ????? the only other site you told me about that is doing Mondaji is http://frozensama.blogspot.com/ and i just asked them if they where going to work on mondaji soon and the reply was ( Too busy to work on v12 right now v11 is begin worked on by Firebird but eta is ?????????? and chapter 3 of LE is 50% done only since it was started), Ever since those damn DMCA started on BT nearly all translators who translate don’t want to continue there work for many reason including RL or no money for Raws excuse. I know translating is very hard i fully understand but my 2 cents is and NO Insult intended or DIRECTED to you but i think if someone starts a Light Novel or Manga Translation site then they should be obligated to finish the projects they start and not bail out half way through leaving all the readers with half *** finished work that never going to get done since they are afraid of getting a DMCA as well or complaining they don’t have time or funds to support the Hobby anymore. I probably like you have many half done LN and Manga’s that will never be completed for those very reasons because the series was put on Hiatus for more then over a year by the scanlations or translators doing them that have dropped off the face of the Planets as well. But enough with my rambling thanks for information i could not remember about that one site. Thanks for all the help you have always given me so far and hope to get more when in concerns Mondaji in the future.

wonder what happened to Eclipse9 and as for Magref, he is someone who had translated a GREAT deal of this series. Suffice to say, the series is only currently completed up to vol 10 thanks to Magef’s speedy translations (as of which, he has slowed down, but still currently translates it). Without his speedy work, the series would honestly still be at like vol 6 or so.

Can anyone send me a pdf link for mondaiji-tachi to my email account all the way from volume 1-10, I know this is really late as i just discovered this.Help would be greatly appreciated 🙂 My gmail account is drumstixs123@gmail.com

I got Volumes 1-10 but not in PDF anymore. I converted them from pdf to JPG Image. If you want them let me Know. I’ll make a zip then give you a link. If you must have pdf you can always convert them back using a free jpg to pdf coverter program online.

Here is the link if you wanted it. I Reconverted the files back to PDF and Added 1 extra Side story and the 1st volume of the continuation series after volume 12 Called Last Embryo but it is still Raw because it has not been picked up by someone who is Fully Translating it yet. There is a partial translation that is ongoing but it is rarely updated since the translator has no intentions of doing a full translation when they where asked a few months back. Link Below Hope it Helps and is what you wanted.

Just drop by to see if there is any new for when you will start Posting updates on vol 11 and 12 of (Mondaiji) Firebird. It’s been awhile now since your last releases of the series. I hope you have not Dropped it since there has been NO updates from you and @ baka-tsuki either for Months. Please continue to translate Mondaiji so we all can enjoy reading it. I can donate to help but it probably will not be much but ever little bit helps right. Under the button that reads we can help with project what is the 90 USD next to Mondaiji for. Is that How Much you need total to Continue the Project or is that the cost of the next Volume to Buy.

Hello and I Just dropped by to see if there where any updates or news for when you will be uploading Vol 11 and 12 translations of Mondaiji. It has been awhile since your last update for this series. I hope you have not Stopped Translations on it have you because that would be a shame if you have. Baka-tsuki has not updated in months either that is why i am asking. Not even Embyro has any Updates. I can Donate but might not be much. In the Like when it reads we can help the Project why is there a 90 USD next to Mondaiji name. Is that what you need to buy the next volume or something else. Hope you can get back to it soon for us all to enjoy reading once again. Have a Goodday.

first of all – thank you for your continued work. in earlier posts you mentioned you will continue this project but is that still the current stand of things? I’m really anticipation volume 11 and it’d be a shame if I couldn’t finish this series. waiting for a bit is nothing in comparison. so thank you very much in advance and also thanks to all those ppl who left helpful links above!
